1 Be it known that I, Jon): C, Rnssmneya' citiaen of the United States, and a resident of the eityof Chicago, county of Cook, and State of iilinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Water-Heating tic boilers.

I of the water thereof, is not in use.

The object of my invention is the production of a boiler of the character mentionedwhich will be equipped with heatingapparates whereby the water may be instantaneously heated notwithstanding the fact that the stove or furnace with which the boileris connected in order to effect the heating A. further object the production of a Water heating device, 'as'mentioned, which will be of durable andeconomical construction and efficient in use. 1

Otherrobjects' will appear hereinafter;

. With these objects in View my invention consists in the combinations a'ndarrangements of parts hereinafter described and claimed. a t

The invention will be best understoodby reference to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specificatiomandin' which,

Figure 1' is a central vertical section ofa water heating device embodying my invention, Fig; 2 is a horizontal section taken on line w-eoc of Fig. 1. F1 3 1s a to lan viewof the burner of the construct on, and F1g,

4 is a partially sectionalsidc elevation ofanother form. of my heating device.

T he form of construction as illustrated in Fig. 1 oflthe drawings comprises a base 1 upon which is supported a vertically. ex-

tending cylindrical housing Q. Mounted upon the upper end of the housing 2 is the boiler or water container 3. Extending into the interior of the member 3 from the upper end wall thereof: is the water inlet pipe/l. with which communicates the water supply pipe at. Depending from the bottom of the. boiler 3 is a pipe which cmnniunicat-es with the lower end of a hollow circular member 6 positioned shown within the'housing 2.

Mount-ed 1n the lower, end ofthe 2 1s aburner 13 so arranged thatthe'fiame then, it will be seen, that-the heated gases member 6 will pass around the periphery said gases, the members fiend 9 being of a diameter less than that of the interior of sage of the gases around the peripheries thereof in the manner mentioned with reunder side of the member"9 andthencewill pass around the periphery thereof and imfinally exhaust-ed after passage through the flue 11 from the upper end of the. latter. With the arrangement set forth, itwill be seen that, anefl'ectual arrangement is employed, for utilizing the heated gases issuing gases with walls through which the heat will be conducted and utilized to heat the water descend through the pipe 5*into the member 6, whence the same, after heating, will autovmaticallyrise through the pipe 8 and into the member 9'a'nd thence into the pipe 10. By reason of' the arrangement employed whereby a maximum extent of surface for contact with-the heated gases in the heating of the water is afforded, the water in pass- H thence through the various pipes and the wardly from the upper wall of the member .terior' ofthe boiler 3.

a In Fig; 4 is shown a form slightly-modified. In this form'the heating apparatusis arranged independent of the boller,-along--' side the same. The heating apparatus-here vused is, however,-, of the same construction sis-described as is also the boiler 3 although the latter, with this arrangement-may: be made longeror'of greater capacity. Il a-this, form the boiler-3 is supported as shown upon the base 1, thelhouslng' 2 beingsupported upon its own base 2.. A valved -drain 14 leads from the bottom; of the mem-{ ber 6,"as shown, so as to permit of the drain ilig of the apparatuswhen desired in the. cleansing thereof; I f y 4 While I have illustrated. and described the preferredforms of construction for carrying invention into effect, these are capable of variation and modification Without (lepa1'tinrf1'o11i 'the spirit of theinvention.

but desire to avail myself oi. such variations and modifications as come Within the'scope of the appended claims.

'Ha'ving described my invention what I- 'clann as new and desire tosecure by Letters- Patent is;
